When I asked my doctor about the elevated levels, he didn’t have an answer or an explanation. He only suggested that I was taking something else along with TRT. Which, if I was, then I wouldn’t be asking him why my levels were elevated nor would I be posting on this forum asking for opinions.

I’ve being going to the same pharmacy for three years and they have been supplying me with the same concentration at the same dose. I suppose it’s possible that they changed sources or what oil it is mixed with?

Hello all, I am looking for opinions on some interesting findings in my bloodwork. A little background: I am 28 years old. 6’1” 215lbs. I have been on TRT for 3 years. My bloodwork has always been somewhat consistent with never any major changes to protocol. I have always been on the same dose...

I use AI as needed. I am low SHBG in the 20’s however I have crashed my E2 plenty of times by taking too much (.25 mg has crashed me before) so I try to stay away if possible. I have not taken such a high HCG dose along with my TRT before so I will be monitoring E2 closely.

You and I have very similar characteristics. I am 28 years old and have been on TRT for three years. I used HCG in addition to TRT intermittently over the course of the three years. 250iu 2x a week. I had a semen analysis done and my sperm count was 22 million (not great but not completely...

My doctor prescribed me 100mg/day clomid which was a LARGE amount and the side effects were pretty bad. I titrated down to 25mg/day and that was tolerable. I got on clomid solely for the purpose of conception so I was okay with higher dosing and temporarily dealing with negative effects to...

Hello all! Brief update, I recently stopped TRT and got on clomid therapy in hopes to increase fertility to get my wife pregnant. Success! My wife is now 6 weeks pregnant. I have attached links to my previous threads regarding my fertility journey: Fertility help Blood results for fertility...

Thanks Vince. Yes, I plan on going back to TRT + HCG to keep fertility going and not have to do a restart again should we decide to have more children.

Hello all, I have been on TRT for 2.5 years. My wife and I are trying to conceive so I started a restart protocol one month ago. I started another thread with more detail that can be found here: Fertility help I have since lowered my clomid dose to 25mg/day and ceased the HCG therapy. I am...

And how was your results using 25mg/day? Did it restore your levels? Fertility success?

Thanks Vince. And I’m assuming you mean ONLY use Clomid and cease the HCG?

Hello all, Currently, my wife and I are hoping to conceive. I have been on TRT therapy for 3 years now. I have also used HCG for the first two years, though, this past year I stopped taking it (I feel better on T only). I am 27 years old. I saw my doctor and his fertility/restart protocol is...

Hello all, I wanted to give an update on my situation. It’s been 4 weeks since I’ve switched from EOD to E3D injections. I got bloodwork done in hopes of seeing some improvement in numbers from the previous bloodwork. I will compare both below. 4/26/18 bloodwork Total T 586 (264-914) Free...

My free T is a 10 on a 9-26.5 reference range and I feel the effects of that. I have negative symptoms which is why I pulled bloodwork. My numbers are off and that confirms my symptoms. Which is why the concern with numbers. The concern with SHBG is so I can increase my free T. I have always...

Yes, my symptoms definitely got worse after taking AI and tanking E2. I get that part. I won’t be taking an AI. BUT...what I don’t understand is why my T levels have lowered and SHBG has doubled. I’m going to stick with my total weekly dose of 200mg but try E3D injections to increase T and...
